Steam flatpak same for ALVR, commandline option added.
Arch Linux, KDE Plasma 6 XWayland

So basically if i launch SteamVR through alvr, basically Steamvr tells me that addons are disabled because of a crash and when i unblock them (ALVR included) and SteamVR has to restart, it just crashes my whole environment. Also whenever I click on the settings Window of SteamVR, it just crashes my DE and no window is responsive
Ive followed the installation.

that makes me literally unable to launch it through tho, although it seems feasible

#

so what would be the workarounds?

#

actually its steamvr being a bitch, caus it launches like that but it crashes the whole DE

#

and obviously i cant kill it; like my good old Meta+Enter brings a terminal but my keyboard is unresponsive

alright well then i guess steamvr just doesnt work on linux

#

how come this is recommended to be used with KDE when literally it crashes...? its beyond me
